Folderburn 1.0

Folderburn is a software tool developed by Dirk Paehl that allows users to securely delete folders and their contents from their computer. This software provides an effective solution for those who want to permanently erase confidential data that they no longer need or wish to keep on their computer.

With Folderburn, users can easily select the folders they want to delete and choose the appropriate level of security to ensure that the data is not recoverable. This software offers three different methods for secure deletion: Gutmann, DoD 5220.22-M, and Zero.

The Gutmann method provides the highest level of security by overwriting the data in the folder 35 times, making it virtually impossible for anyone to recover any information. The DoD 5220.22-M method also overwrites the data multiple times, but with only 7 passes, which is still highly secure. The Zero method simply writes over the content once with zeros, which is a faster method that provides basic security.

Folderburn is easy to use and does not require any technical expertise. Users can simply select the folders they want to delete and choose the desired security level. The software then begins the secure deletion process, providing users with peace of mind knowing that their confidential data is no longer accessible.

Folderburn by Dirk Paehl offers a simple yet effective solution for secure data disposal on Windows systems.
